Processing speed and memory installed

When I try to install my printer it tells me that the processing speed and memory installed is insufficient. I have closed as many processes as I can and it still doesnt work. Is there a way aruond this issue besides buying and new processor and installing more memory?

This happens usually when you use a old computer , try to increase the primary memory space of the computer you be able to install it or your computer may not be compact able with the printer or please check on the box the system requirement.

Most common cause of the error on this printer is the memory on the CPB (copy processing board) is bad. This board is picky about memory and typically only works with the actual HP memory designed for it. The easiest fix is to use the memory that is currently installed on the formatter, which is identical, and purchase 3rd party memory for the formatter, which will support any compatible memory.

The Ready (green) and Error (red) lights on the top of the printer may be the first indication of trouble. The status of the lights, on, off or flashing, indicates your printer status, as described below. The Status Alert window in the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility indicates what type of error has occurred and offers you a possible solution. Look through this section to find the kind of problem you have, then try the recommended solutions in the order they are presented until your problem is solved.

Description:
Out of Memory problem. This Error Code only appears in HP DesignJets 800 Series, or in the HP DesignJet 500 Series with an
HP-GL/2 card installed, when processing either a PostScript or HPGL/2 file.
Corrective Action: Try the following:
Check the amount of RAM in the Printer using the Front Panel
(use the Printer Information utility aPage 4-27). If necessary,install more memory into the Formatter.
If the problem continues, try processing the file in the PC instead of the Printer (select Avoid out of memory in Advanced options in the Driver).

this error 20 means insufficient memory so the printer received more data than can process,there ore two solutions :1.instal aditional memory2.press GO to print the transfered data(you may lose some data)

You see, when you print with an inkjet, the information is fed line-by-line through the CPU for processing. The larger the document in size, the longer it takes.

Switch to a color laser printer. They're about 150 dollars. It has an onboard memory and a CPU for processing. Speed wise is about 500% faster. Since it has it's own onboard computer basically, it doesn't need to interrupt the CPU to compute the information and send it to the printer. Laser printers are also known as page printers because they can store pages of information in their own memory.

Check the amount of RAM in the Printer using the Front Panel buttons.
install more memory into the Formatter or
try processing the file in the PC instead
of the Printer (select Avoid out of memory in Advanced options in the driver)
good luck.

1.install the latest print driver; see if the rip/spool time is long or the printing time is long. The rip time depends by your computer (!) and the print driver (disable the collate option when printing multiple copies of 1 page = on the printer you should see 1/5 spit a page then 2/5 and spit another page for 5 copies of same page. If you see processing the spit the page then processing and spit the page means your computer is sending 5 times the same page instead of sending once and ask for 5 copies !!! )2.use network connection instead the USB.3.expand the printer memory4.switch the printer from PCL to KPDL or Auto when printing pdf files.

If the printer is processing jobs slow, especially for PDF's before they come out of the printer it's probably a printer memory issue. To test, send the print job at a lower resolution. If that works then you can just print jobs at that resolution or install more memory. If the print jobs are coming out of the printer slow then your printer settings may be set to the highest resolution of pro res instead of the default fast res which cuts the printer speed in about half.

Determine the amount of memory currently in use by background programs or processes. Programs/processes will run in the background even when no applications are running. Most of these programs/processes will be indicated by an icon in the lower right corner next to the time. Less memory available for applications will result is slower processing time and consequently, printing speed. To determine processes running in Windows 2000/XP , do the following:

Press Ctrl , Alt , and Delete simultaneously and then release.

From the Windows Security box, select Task Manager.

Click the Processes tab to view all running processes.

Click the Performance tab to view the total and available amount of memory.

To determine processes running in Windows 98 , do the following:

Open the Device Manager .

Click the Performance tab. The available system resources will display as a percentage.

Turn off unnecessary background processes. This will free up system resources and increase printing speed. To turn off processes in Windows 98/ME/XP , do the following:

Click Start , Run , and type msconfig .

From the System Configuration Utility, click the Startup tab.

Determine what processes are unnecessary and remove the checkmark those items.

Step two: Verifying the amount of hard drive spaceFollow the steps below to determine the amount of hard drive space on the main drive.

Open My Computer , right-click the C drive, and then click Properties . This will display a chart along with the total hard drive space, used space, and available space.

Verify that there is at least 2-3 GB of hard drive space available. The computer will require at least this amount to process printing data for simple text files, more for image files. The lower the amount of available hard drive space, will greater the time to process print data.

Step three: Ensuring the paper sensor is clean and not damagedThe all-in-one product paper sensor plays an important role in determining the print speed. Printing a self-test or demo page will ensure that the paper sensor is in proper working condition. If the page completes in less than 40 seconds, the sensor is working correctly. Even if the sensor is working correctly, the printer driver might need to have the paper sensor turned off. To turn off the sensor, follow the steps below:

Open the Printer folder, right-click the printer and click Printing Preferences or Properties .

From the Properties box, click the Paper/Quality or Features tab.

Under the Paper Type section, open the menu and select Plain Paper instead of Automatic. This will disable the paper sensor and increase the print speed.
